DRAIN PLUGS (RIB MODELS)
The aluminum RIB inflatables are equipped with a drain plug in the fuselage/
cavity. The plug must be installed when the boat is in the water. The hull cavity
plug must be regularly removed to allow collected water to escape from the
inner hull (bilge). For RIBs, that lie in the water for an extended period of time,
an automatic bilge pump is recommended.
The deck drain plug should only be removed if the boat is operated in the
forward direction of travel or if the boat is stored on dry davits or on deck
shelves.
Inflation of Tube
The proper inflation and deflation is essential for a long life of your boat.
To inflate the boat, roll out the boat on the floor. Remove any sharp objects
from flat surface where the boat will be assembled.
• If the boat is unpacked, check if all parts are present.
• Check if the valves are closed, by removing the safety cap from the valve.
When the central button is positioned upwards, the valve is closed.
• Get your delivered pump. Push the nozzle, end piece on the valve and
turn right. The pump will tighten on the valve.
• Put enough air in the boat to give the boat some form.
IMPORTANT: All chambers should be inflated equally to avoid damage to the
bulkheads that separate the chambers.
Inflate the boat in the following order:
• Bow chamber
• Side chambers
• Floor chamber (if applicable)
